ABOUT TO BUY NEW WHEELS!! Please help with a few questions I have!

Please helppp.....

2007 TL-Type S -
About to buy a wheel/tire package from wheelfire.com...

Questions on Wheels
Wheel Make/Model: MRR GT-1
Wheel Size (**X**): 19x8.5
Wheel Offset (+**): I'm buying from the website and it doesn't indicate?
If lowered (amount): None

Will these wheels fit my car with no problem? The wheel offset isnt clearly indicated, is that a problem?

Questions on Tires
Width/Sidewall-Diameter (***/**-**): 235/35/19
If lowered (amount): None
Tire Make/Model Options (these are all the options presented for the package):
- Nexen N3000 (package price: $1599)
- Nankang NS-2 (summer tire) (package price: $1599)
- Falken 452 (package price: $1699)
- Nitto NT555 (package price: $1823)
- General Exclaim (package price: $1831)
- Nitto InVo (package price: $1879)
- KUMHO SPT (package price: $1883)
- Toyo Tire Proxes 4 (package price: $1919)

I don't know much about tires, and also don't want to pay too much. At the same time, I want to make sure I get good quality so I'm willing to spend a decent amount. Any recommendations on these? Any help will be greatly appreciated...

Also, my final question: What do I need to get to have my internal TPMS pick up the new wheels? I don't want to have the sensor going crazy every day, but don't know what I need. I think I need to buy tpms sensors when buying the wheels (they'll install it when balancing and mounting i assume), and then it'll work when I have my dealer put on the new wheels/tires (anything additional involved such as programming or something)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Offset is everything. I would not purchase until I found that out. Concerning the tires, I have several friends who have General Exclaim UHPs (I'm assuming that's what those are) on their cars and love them. That's what I was about to go with, but turns out the series is being discontinued and was no longer available in the size I wanted.
